Wow. Yes, I am very familiar with Caligula. In fact, I would compare Obama's legacy to that of Commodus...
So I'll try to be reasonable with this because I really do want to understand why you feel that these things are true. Yes, I do see Trump as a bully, but no more so than Obama was. He used the IRS as a weapon against those who dared to oppose him, so is there really a difference? Both disregard the authority of Congress to an extent, so why is it okay for one president to do it and not another?
Honestly, I see no proof of any concentration camps being built here. I see sometimes excessive force being used at the border, sometimes not. I see people being detained so we can determine if they are a threat. Maybe it should be handled differently, but at the end of the day these people are breaking the law just by being here. I don't think they should be terribly surprised by our response considering that Mexico would do the same thing.
Walls are interesting things, no? This big wall is intended to force people to enter our country through an actual point of entry instead of crossing the river and entering illegally. Terrible. But take into account the walls that people put around their homes, they are intended to force people to come through a point of entry instead of just walking in wherever wherever they choose and with whatever intentions. That way the homeowner has some control over who enters. The White House has walls that serve the same purpose. I built a wall around my back yard to allow my dog to run. Banks, military installations, lots of places have walls.
So why is one wall different from all the others? Is it because of the wall itself, or because of the emotional response that it incites? Or maybe it's about politics? What if Obama has proposed the same wall, would you still oppose it?
Again, I'm being objective. I want to understand more.
